Aidin Vaziri | Never mess with a woman who wears a fake beard. Especially if she wears that fake beard on the cover of her latest album, “Fatherf — .” Peaches is a 36-year-old former music teacher from Canada turned gender-bending Berlin electro-punk star. Aside from sexually charged numbers like “Shake Yer Dix” and “Stuff Me Up,” her new record also includes a great duet with Iggy Pop called “Kick It.” We caught her on the cell as she was barreling across the country toward San Francisco — thankfully, from a safe distance.

Now excuse me while I go buy some stain remover. (Coffee stains, y’know.)

A: Yeah, I’ve had a lot. My first job was washing dishes at the local pizza restaurant. That was in high school. And then for three years I was the director of this surf and kayak camp for little kids.
